Our wouhy Burgomaster; Mr. OLDEN- BURG, assured the. Governor, in ans 4er io is speech, of the, unalterable attachment of the City Militia to his Maj,!sty's person, and their implicit confidence in the wisdom of his Government; and the solemn scene closed with ►ong cooihmed shouts and acclamations of " Long Live the Ling." The report which was circulated respeaing the unfortunate GUSTAVUS having effetted his escape, and taken refuge on board Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ'S fleet, is, we have very little doubt, unfounded. the last• dispatches from Sir J.im t s are dated the 26thult. tkey are silent upon the subjeal. This morning ,47;terican Papers to the 13th June arrived, from which we have made the following extraas : " BOSTON, JUNE 12.
